Angel Falls is the World's Tallest Waterfall. It flows from the Auyantepui in Eastern Venezuela, and drops 3212 feet into Devil's Canyon. If you toss a rock off the top, it will hit the ground in about 22 seconds! If you toss a man off the top, he will also hit the ground in about twenty-two seconds. Ouch! That is unless he has a device to slow his descent, such as a parachute. Fixed Object Jumping is a sport of making parachute jumps without using airplanes. The jumpers in the sport usually refer to it as "B.A.S.E. Jumping". Over 100 jumpers have made successfull leaps from the cliff at Angel Falls. The falls have also been the scene of many T.V. commercials and movies. It's an awesome sight!
